i'm not sure about this, either ... it was my first assumption, but
testing on my particular network showed that it worked with 192.168.0.%
when i didn't have an entry where Host = 'kryten%' (the hostname of my
remote frontend is kryten.slacknet.local) ... and without an entry where
Host = 'smeg%' (the hostname of my backend is smeg.slacknet.local) ...

DELETE FROM [table_name] WHERE [condition];
depending on what you want to delete ... for deleting users, there are
other commands (tho' standard sql commands will work, since the users
table is nothing special, just another mysql table), and i'd reccommend
using them instead, because they delete stuff properly ... don't know
them offhand, tho' (i use phpmyadmin for all user management stuff)
